Questions this episode answers
Why did Josh's Subway order arrive wrong on The Daily Talk Show?
Tommy ordered Josh a 'Veggie Delight' through Uber Eats but didn't select any salad ingredients in the app, so it arrived as just bread, avocado, sauce and melted cheese instead of a full vegetable sandwich.
What happened when Tommy complained to Uber Eats about the bad Subway order?
Tommy submitted a complaint saying the sandwich arrived with nothing inside, and Uber Eats refunded the full $22.24 order.
Where did the chocolate eclairs ordered on the show come from and how did they turn out?
After several failed attempts to find eclairs (Ferguson's Bakehouse was sold out), they ordered a box of 5 mixed eclairs from Brunetti's, which arrived frozen despite instructions to rest at room temperature for an hour.
Episode TranscriptShow
Josh: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 807.
Tommy: Happy Fat Friday, Gronks! What's happening? What's going on?
Josh: Just have a bit of a clap for that.
Tommy: Just clap it in, move the body. You know, it's, um, it's a good day. Or is it?
Josh: Well, I'm not, uh, I'm not happy about what you gave me for lunch.
Tommy: You know, when you try and do do good by your buddies, and, you know, you try and organise Fat Fridays because, you know, George and Mason won't.
Josh: That's true.
Tommy: You get— someone's gonna do it. And you decide to order your buddy, who you know quite well, you know, just a nice big Subway sandwich. You decide to do a veggie delight. You decide to do a bit of a tradie Friday, Fat Fridays, where you just— I was getting bakery treats. It's— it would have been quintessential workplace sort of like tradie side at about 11 AM. Mate, I'm going to the bakery. Mate, I'm going to Subway. So I went bakery, Josh went Subway. I ordered Subway through Uber Eats.
Josh: Oh, I didn't go. You surprised me.
Tommy: Yeah, but, and I sent it through to, through Uber because, you know, there's— we're not working on a building site when, you know, in ISO. And what did you get?
Josh: We never work on a building, even non-ISO, we're not working. Yeah.
Tommy: We're the guys there in expensive clothes and doing filming for the day.
Josh: We've got runners on, not, you know, really, we don't have steel cap.
Tommy: No steel cap.
Josh: That actually happened. But no, so when I got it, I was like, this is very light. It was a light sandwich. And so, when I felt it, when I felt the footlong, I thought that what it felt like was a footlong of cookies because it was so um, sort of flimsy that it felt like they'd sort of put a bunch of cookies. And so I thought, this is an epic Fat Fridays. And so we were meant to do this earlier, my internet shit the bed, and so I said, can I just eat it? Like, what is it? Should I just eat it now or should I wait? You said, oh no, you just eat it now, it's a sandwich.
Tommy: Yeah, yeah. Well, I was like, mate, I know you don't like the meat sandwiches from Subway. I was gonna trust them, go the opposite and get you like a full-blown footlong piece of meat, but I went the other way. I went Veggie Delight. And so according to my order, I ordered one Veggie Delight with Avo Subway footlong, choice of bread Italian herb. Make my Subway Ultimate include triple mozzarella? No. Preparation toasted. Add cheese? Natural cheddar, because I know JJ likes a bit of cheddar. Uh, sauce? Chipotle Southwest. You can't go wrong with JJ getting Southwest.
Josh: I love chipotle.
Tommy: Um, you know what, I I was gonna take off the cookie, but then I was like, nah, my boy needs something. So I got him two because I knew Breezy was there. She could have had half of the—
Josh: She did have it. She got it. She got the, um, one of the cookies. Yeah.
Tommy: Oh, great. And I added a Coke, no sugar, 600ml, brought it up to a total of $22.24. I was like, fuck, that's a bit of a sting. Mine cost $8. I got a, I got a, I got a Soso roll and an eclair and a Big M. And then I sent yours through. Mate, according to that, that sounds like I ordered a Veggie Delight with Avo Subway footlong. So where is it going wrong?
Josh: What you've done wrong is—
Tommy: What did you open up and see?
Josh: There was avocado and sauce. And then I realised as I started eating it, it had melted cheese. And so what you've done is you've clicked, you've tapped on Veggie Delight Yes. But then can you, if you look in the app, you can see when you were doing an order, you need to select what salad you want. And so, for me, it's everything including jalapeños and olives. Yeah, you do.
Tommy: Okay.
Josh: So, that's where you were. What were you expecting? What you thought they were just going to put everything in?
Tommy: Okay. Here's where I got thrown off. I went down to another area to order you the Veggie Delight or just a veggie. Like a roll with vegetables or whatever it is, and I couldn't see it. I couldn't do it. I couldn't remove the meat. So I went up and it's like veggie delight, click that. Went through so many options, dude. There's like 50 types of cheeses. Do you want to do some garlicky thing to it? Do you want to fucking— you know, it's ridiculous. And so I was on a FaceTime call with you guys at the time of doing it, and I thought I did it right, but it's a full Gronkh move, and I've ordered you a roll with a bit of avo and sauce and cheese.
Josh: And so I went I wasn't going to eat it, but then I was like, this is my lunch. I don't want to waste it. It was— It actually knocked me back into the depressive state that I was in. Like, it just— No, seriously. Like, I reckon— I was saying that I'd watched documentaries on the Great Depression. That felt like— I know avocado is expensive, but the— It didn't feel like a complete meal.
Tommy: Well, mate, I was pissed. $22. You know I don't like to waste money, and I put in my first complaint. You sent me a photo of it and I said, you got to be shitting me.
Josh: What? No, so you're very defensive, like, mate, that's what you normally get. That's almost what you're sort of implying.
Tommy: You said you got me a sandwich with fucking avo and sauce. I said, couldn't get you a veg sub that wasn't with avo. So, because that was the only one, the veggie.
Josh: I knew exactly where you went wrong. You just selected the top, but then you didn't do it. They shouldn't allow it.
Tommy: They shouldn't allow it because if it comes to a total of $22, no man, woman, dog, cat is buying something like that in their fucking right mind.
Josh: I feel like it should be an opt-out of salads.
Tommy: Well, it should be loaded up with everything. Yeah, definitely not beetroot. Not beetroot, not jalapeño. You can't load those in. That's kind of edgy. Pineapple, you're a fucking maniac if you're trying to load that in without asking. Olives too. Who are you to be doing that to somebody?
Josh: So I normally get— So I was wondering when you'd ordered this and I realised it was a sandwich. I was like, oh, this is interesting. Has he— Because I would normally ask for extra olives, extra jalapeños, extra pickle. Like, I go extra on the things that a lot of people won't even get.
Tommy: Yeah. And so I would have done that. And, you know, one of the things that threw me off too was beetroots, an extra $0.80. And so at that point, I was only looking for things that were charging me more. I was like, obviously they're not included and I won't get those. But anyway, I took the photo you sent me and I've made my first complaint to Uber. So I went back into the app.
Josh: What'd you say?
Tommy: I found just like some random bit was like not happy with my order and it was like, what's wrong? And I just wrote, my Subway came with nothing inside.
Josh: And so when they write back, they're going to write back and say, you ordered it with nothing inside.
Tommy: Hi Tommy, sorry to hear that order was delivered incorrect. This may be due to restaurants having loads of orders being processed at the time, which should cause them to overlook this. No worries, I'll do my best to help. Given the situation, I've gone ahead and refunded the entire amount. Of $22.24. Great.
Josh: Can you order me something now? As a—
Tommy: Yeah, we got budget, bro.
Josh: What do you want?
Tommy: What do you want? I'll get it for you.
Josh: Well, so you have had a chocolate éclair.
Tommy: Oh, it was so naughty. It was, dude, I felt like I was about to spew after, but I was pretty happy with— Like, if I vomited after that, I would have been okay with it.
Josh: I want a chocolate éclair, please.
Tommy: Where could I get one from?
Josh: I want a chocolate éclair now. I'll crack it.
Tommy: Okay.
Josh: This is great. Can you get two? Because I don't want Bray to have any of my chocolate éclair. And as I was telling you, when you were eating your chocolate éclair, for many, many years, I thought they were chocolatey eclairs. Chocolate because—
Tommy: Like chocolatey.
Josh: Yeah.
Tommy: Like chocolatey, yummy.
Josh: Mask debate. It sounds, you know, fucking merge it together. Masturbate. Yeah. Anyway, so. Yeah, 2 chocolate eclairs, please.
Tommy: Okay. Where chocolate? Like it's from a chocolate shop or a bakery?
Josh: Yeah. Or just tell me what's one that— What's the— What's that? I always get the name wrong. It's the Claire Bakehouse or whatever it's called.
Tommy: The eclairs? What do you mean?
Josh: No, no. There's a— What's the famous bakery in Melbourne?
Tommy: Brunetti's.
Josh: No, but there's another one. Brunetti's is probably on there. But when I think about Brunettis, yeah. Yeah, I feel like the—
Tommy: What do you feel like?
Josh: Brunettis, I feel, I just think they're too petite, too small. They're like fancy.
Tommy: Oh, sorry. The food's too small.
Josh: Yes.
Tommy: Okay. Because the restaurant itself is the biggest piece of—
Josh: No, no, no. What am I thinking of? Bakehouse. What's the one that's like a— It starts with a P and I thought it was a C, maybe.
Tommy: You're gonna be fucking pissed.
Josh: What?
Tommy: They're out of chocolate eclairs? Sold out. Oh, hang on. Salted caramel eclairs.
Josh: Can you get me centre cake?
Tommy: Would you get caramel? Would you get salted caramel eclairs?
Josh: No, thank you.
Tommy: You won't do it? No. Okay, I'm gonna have to. That was from Ferguson's Bakehouse.
Josh: That's exactly the one I was thinking of.
Tommy: Ferguson's.
Josh: Oh, okay. Isn't it Ferguson Claire Baker? Claire. Thank you, Claire. Thank you, Sarah.
Tommy: Ferguson Claire.
Josh: I thought it was Claire. Okay. Rain Man in the comments is saying Loon. Loon is close by to my joint.
Tommy: Yeah, but I mean, they don't do eclairs, do they? Is that like— No, no.
Josh: They'll be sort of your—
Tommy: Dude, I think literally the only place—
Josh: A cake. Can you send me a cake?
Tommy: Look, okay.
Josh: I'll count it as my 30th for September. Just get me a cake.
Tommy: Yeah.
Josh: This is hilarious.
Tommy: Well, I can get you a cake from Brunetti's. Do you want a cake from Brunetti's?
Josh: Yes, please.
Tommy: Actually, I can get you a cake from—
Josh: Or you could go to— What about Max Brenner?
Tommy: Mate, there's not everything on here.
Josh: Have you got my address in there?
Tommy: Yeah, I got your address in here. There's a cake— Cherry on the Run. Nah, some of these are absolutely ridiculous.
Josh: Calvin in the comments was saying, surely Keith's Pies are on the radar to get to Collingwood.
Tommy: Keith's Pies.
Josh: Yeah, but does Keith actually— Do you know what I'd love? I want a key lime.
Tommy: Oh no, Keith's pies are in here, but I don't want a pie.
Josh: I want a cake.
Tommy: Hot lead, hot lead. No, but this is where you get this stuff from. Okay, like usually there's— okay, desserts are all sold out. It's, um, hard state of affairs here, guys.
Josh: I don't— I'll tell you what I don't feel like. I don't feel like a brownie. I had a brownie, uh, early ISO, and it was just— I could have made one better myself, which is saying something.
Tommy: Oh no.
Josh: It was bad. Any other? I don't want ice cream. Don't get me ice cream. I want something that's like a sponge cake.
Tommy: Was this after school for your mum every day?
Josh: Well, yeah, Mum would always have some sort of baked good. Yeah.
Tommy: But having this convo of like, no, I don't want a bloody cheesecake.
Josh: Well, the big— We've spoken about the biggest blow-up that I would have as a kid was when Mum would get us iced donuts, but she— She didn't realise that she had precious cargo, and so the doughnuts would flip and the icing would hit the roof of the plastic wrapper and it would stick to it, and they're fucked at that point. Like, I don't want them, chuck them.
Tommy: So, you— What about a cheese and pear crumble?
Josh: No. I don't want a crumble. I don't want anything crumbled.
Tommy: What about cheesecake cookies? Like, it's a cake with cheesecake cookies inside.
Josh: So, I could do— I could do cheesecake, but I don't understand what the cookie bit means.
Tommy: I am sorry, there is 5 mixed eclairs, different flavours.
Josh: Okay.
Tommy: Would you take that?
Josh: How big are they?
Tommy: I don't know. Box of 5 mixed eclairs randomly selected from our range. Can we do that? Because what will send you over the edge is if they don't send a chocolate one.
Josh: Definitely. I mean, it is, yeah, it's like Tim Tams or whatever, going something that's non- tradition, like going somewhere. So what is it like? I need to know the price so I get a sense of the size.
Tommy: It's, well, it's $8, uh, $16.
Josh: Seems like a decent chunk.
Tommy: Leave it at door as required.
Josh: Yeah, perfect. To tell them to dial my apartment number, free line. So, right, so I'm getting my chocolate eclairs.
Tommy: You're getting hopefully a chocolate éclair within it by the end of the show.
Josh: How long does it say until it will arrive?
Tommy: Um, God, they're really throwing in like the tip function. They're doing heaps. Yeah, you seem far away from this address.
Josh: Oh yeah, that's because you're booking it for me.
Tommy: Yeah, I love that. That's great.
Josh: Anyway, what's the arrival time?
Tommy: Sorted. Hang on, it's ordering. 3:35.
Josh: 3:35. Yeah, so in 20 minutes. So 20 minutes, we'll be finishing the show with me eating a chocolatey claire, which would be great. How can we have more fun in general, in life?
Tommy: Does fun— does fun— is there an— does fun exist within your four walls is what I want to say. Like, how do you— my place Yeah, like, I think, to be honest, the fun probably comes— and I'm sure you have this with Bree, you just like laughing and, you know, joking around. And no, we don't. But Bodhi brings a lot of fun. Like, he's a kid you could just chase around, you know. We're in his little cubby house, we're making shit. But yeah, I agree. It's like the fun for Amy and I— yeah, we probably need to have a bit more fun, don't we?
Josh: You were doing the horse video. That was fun. When did you actually do that?
Tommy: That was really— that was ages ago. I was really high and I thought it was the funniest thing on earth.
Josh: It was very funny. And so it was you pretending to be a jockey and then Amy would sort of bend over and pretend to be the tail.
Tommy: Well, no.
Josh: Why did you even send that to me?
Tommy: Because I thought Amy sent it to me just because she came across it. And then I sent it to you because I thought it was hilarious and I never posted it. I'm going to post it. It's a thing where if you've got a partner with long hair, you need somebody with long hair. They bend forward and hair, the hair just like flops down and looks like the tail of a horse. And then you stand at the bum facing away from them and you both bob up and down.
Josh: It's great. It's fun.
Tommy: It's so good. That was fun. But I, yeah, I just like to jump.
Josh: And so what are the other fun things?
Tommy: So maybe that's why I thought that's why I thought of that.
Josh: That's funny. What else?
Tommy: What else? What else? What about like, you're doing Monopoly tomorrow, but do you take that seriously?
Josh: Sunday. Yeah. So, Sunday and Monday I've got Monopoly plans. Yeah.
Tommy: Okay. So, do you think that—
Josh: Well, it's not like it gets very sort of— It can be fun, the conversations in between, but it can get a bit nasty. So, it's not like a straight fun because it is that like you still feel like you're a bit Like, it's— you can't relax.
Tommy: Yeah, you want to, you know, you're about to blow up, just ruin someone.
Josh: Well, no, I've said, like, if you've played Monopoly with me, I'll say, like, it is actually very similar to work. It's like, this is the last fucking time, like, we're done. Like, if you don't fucking do this deal, we're done. So it's actually just me living.
Tommy: What have you done for fun in the past that isn't attached to work?
Josh: Now I'm trying to work it out. So I went through my, um, my big collection of books just back here, right? Just looking at all my books, trying to see what books I have that are fiction that I can just read for fun. I couldn't find anything that wasn't Bree's book. I don't have a single— So, the one book that I found that was fiction— Stand by. Hang on.
Tommy: Yeah. He's reaching to his huge shelf of books that he hasn't read. Oh, he can still hear me. Shit. He's still got his headphones on. Yep, there you go.
Josh: So this book, um, it's, uh, it's a fast-paced thriller. Does that sound great?
Tommy: Well, it doesn't sound fun, and I think you've got to determine what fun is. To me, book reading, a book isn't fun. It's pleasant, it's relaxing, it's it makes you feel like you have time on your hands if you're— because it's taking, you know, taking a bit of a breath. To me, fun, bike riding, hitting a trail, you know, throwing the frisbee at the park, something that involves getting the heart rate up, bit of fun, you know.
Josh: And even though this is fiction, it still will flare up my anxieties because it's about "A guy named Alex Rogo is a harried—" What's a H-A-R-R-I-E-D? Harried? What's harried mean?
Tommy: Harried.
Josh: I mean, look at him.
Tommy: He's a harried fella.
Josh: Harried means feeling strained as a result of having demands. Okay. So, that's you. Yeah, this is what— And it gets worse.
Tommy: You're a harried fella.
Josh: Alex Rogo is a harried plant manager working ever more desperately to try and improve performance. The book is called The Goal, and it's all about, uh, business and, um, how to make money and all that sort of shit. But it's in a fucking fiction book, and so I don't think that that's a good option for fun.
Tommy: Here's a piece of fun for you, and just, just an update, 15 minutes away, it's just been picked up. Your Claire's chocolatey Claire's have been picked up.
Josh: Thank you.
Tommy: This is, this is This could be fun. I saw someone on social media doing this. I'm sure you saw it too. TikTok. They had a frat house party. Oh yeah. Uh, with— it was like a college-themed party. Him and his missus. His missus had work, uh, organised it. Um, there was beer pong, there was mini hot dogs, there was like chips and Budweiser beer. They were dressed in sort of college theme. That, to me, I— maybe not for me. They were having— but they look like that was what their fun was.
Josh: So, do I need to get Bree a cheerleader outfit and say, put this on?
Tommy: I mean, there could be a bit of fun out of that.
Josh: I mean, what am I like? What do I wear? I have to be a frat boy. What does a frat boy look like?
Tommy: Well, yeah, what does a frat boy look like? Oh, one of those fraternity jackets or like, you know, the You'd see it in a young teen club. Teen. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, anything in Australia doesn't really— It's like a baseball jacket.
Josh: Okay. So, that's one idea. So, a theme. There is a lot of stress in like buying the red cups and ordering. It's not something I feel like I can do tonight.
Tommy: I don't— Yeah, yeah, yeah. You could do a— I don't know. I'm just thinking everything I come up with in my head, I think that you're going to hate and be stressed out. And then the common denominator there is you. Me. Yeah. No, I get it.
Josh: I'm a pain in the ass. I understand. Like, that's the—
Tommy: But like, what about, like, an impromptu dinner party for you and Breezer? Like, get a whole bunch of candles. You know what the fun— Okay, let me— I was just thinking about this. I've got a spa. What's not fun about the spa is putting chemicals and making sure the water's fine. What's fun about the spa is when you know it's at the right temperature. And the baby's just gone to bed and you're like, oh, you're sort of half nude, you're running down there, it's cold when you exit out, you know, into the outdoors, and then you're trotting along to the spa. Like, that's the fun bit. Once you get in there and you giggle a bit, then you're like, I'm a bit too hot, I'm gonna go inside now.
Josh: It's like a bath when you're in a hotel or whatever. It's like, I've only got 5 minutes in the bath before I'm like, I'm fucking hot. It's too hot in here.
Tommy: But, but I think you need to not think that it's going to be a 2.5, 3-hour intense fun session. It's fun for little parts of it. And then you look back on what the nice bits are. So for me, I had— we had a fun holiday where we hired a camper van and we drove from Sydney to Byron and we stopped along the way. We didn't know where we were going to stop. And this is relating to a holiday, so it's not something you can do today. But I like that. So what are the themes of that? Travel off the table, but like, uh, don't have spontaneity. Spontaneity. Didn't know where we're going to stay that night. We knew we were going to snuggle in the back and we put some nice little lights up inside.
Josh: So the chocolate eclairs thing, like, that is spontaneous. Don't you feel that's exciting?
Tommy: Uh, yeah, I mean, this is— I'm pumped. It's 4 minutes away. We're gonna have these on the show. I'm definitely pumped about it. And so I'm just trying to work out for you, like, okay, what about this? Here's a bit of fun. Build yourselves a pillow fort and watch a little movie in there.
Josh: Okay. Yeah.
Tommy: And so camping inside with Bodhi, so much fun. Okay. We sleeping in the tent in the back, in my backyard with Bodhi, even though it was freezing cold. Fun. We did it together and it's a memory we have.
Josh: And so, do we need to move the— What's the bed? What goes on the top of a bed? Who has fun?
Tommy: Who has fun? Kids. And so, what can you— How can you be more childlike other than your behaviour? Yeah. Which is pretty childlike.
Josh: I can eat all the chocolate clairs. Yeah, I don't know.
Tommy: I think there's something in that. What about improv?
Josh: Bree and I doing improv?
Tommy: Yeah, I mean— Yeah, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna knock that down if it's just you two. Yeah, that'd be fun. Get the karaoke.
Josh: Yeah, we're doing karaoke. Do karaoke, dude.
Tommy: Yeah, that's what people do for fun. They go to the store.
Josh: Do you reckon I have time to go to Store DJ before 5?
Tommy: No, you can get a fucking app. You know how much equipment we own as a business? But it would be nice. Literally just packed away into a box about 17 mics. That are high quality and we don't use them.
Josh: Well, I mean, yeah, you had a, um, you were having a blow-up because you couldn't find anything.
Tommy: Yeah, yeah. And so I packed it away. So, but I think you can— So what are you going to do for fun?
Josh: What are you committing to?
Tommy: Tonight's family movie night. Mm-hmm. We— You're gonna have popcorn? Uh, um, no, we've got carrot cake. Amy's cooked it last night. The first thing Bodhi woke up this morning— It's a mini one. It's probably, probably, uh, you know, Size of a little football. Little, yeah. Double the size of tennis ball probably. Anyway, woke up this morning, Bodhi's first words out of his mouth were, where's the carrot cake? Where's the carrot cake? He just wanted to eat the carrot cake. So our fun tonight, we'll probably get a pizza and then we eat pizza out here on the big table. Sometimes we eat on bed, that feels, on the bed, that feels fun. And then we get Bodhi ready and he's so excited and loves, like, loves getting his little cake. We love watching a little movie.
Josh: So do you watch the movie in bed? Yeah, we watch the movie. So I think we need a TV in the bedroom. I think that's— seriously, how much of your life has improved since getting a TV? I know that people will fucking say no screens. Yeah, yeah. How much is— how much better is your life now that you've got a TV in your room?
Tommy: Um, it's— oh, hang on, this is your Uber order. Oh, here we go.
Josh: Hang on.
Tommy: Hello, Joshua Jansen speaking. Oh, hello. Sorry about this. Oh yes, are you able to press— are you able to press 504 and we'll come down?
Josh: No, don't come down. No, we don't come down, they come up to us. Dial 504.
Tommy: Sorry, sorry, I can't hear you, mate. So are you able to, um, come—
Josh: they come up and leave it at the door. I'm not going down.
Tommy: Oh, you're not allowed to come inside the building? Okay, we'll send someone down. Thank you.
Josh: This is going to be a hard sell for Bray. Hey, Breezer, give me a sec.
Tommy: Could be a live blow up. We got a— hey, Breezer, we got a, uh, chocolate éclair order. Um, what I'm just going to cheque is I think this is the same dude that delivered previously his other order of the Subway. God, it was $21 for 5 mixed eclairs. I think they may be mini ones as well. How much was the— oh no, no, these could be good ones. This is— I'm pumped for this. Okay, she's getting it. I'm pumped for this, guys. We're gonna have the big reveal of the chocolate eclairs.
Josh: She's just explaining to her colleagues that she'll be back.
Tommy: Just, yeah, sorry, I have to go down to get an Uber order for some chocolate. He said he's not allowed to. I mean, this is the thing, you've been pushing. That pisses me off.
Josh: You can fucking come upstairs. Well, is there a rule though? No, there's no rule. So you give him one star.
Tommy: Sorry, mate. So that's okay.
Josh: What just happened? I just refreshed. That's okay. Yeah, no, you tried to push Command+T and I pushed Command+R. One star, one star.
Tommy: Um, anyway, is that what you do?
Josh: Yeah, they should come up. Like, I do, I empathise and all that sort of thing, but just, it's, you do, you're half, you're doing the half the delivery. Well, you didn't get— if you just, if you're coming out, it's like, especially because I get fucking food delivered from around the corner If they're not coming to our door and they're just coming outside the building, I could have done that. Yeah. Literally, you know what I mean?
Tommy: Yeah. Cooking, have you ever had fun cooking or does it get too much?
Josh: Yeah, I— Bree's just leaving now. Okay, great. So, I worry that he's left.
Tommy: No, he won't leave.
Josh: This feels like the 24-hour stream. Yeah. Just trying to get shit delivered. She would have had to get her mask and everything on. Thank you, Breeza. Yeah. What were you just saying?
Tommy: I was just saying about cooking and it being fun, like some, you know, getting with your partner. I've been cooking breakfast. I think this is— it's the classic thing parents say, but just while you can, dude. If you think you can't have fun now, It's just, it can be zapped, sucked away with kids. And I know you're not going to have kids, but if you just aren't having kids, just have as much fun as possible.
Josh: So, Brody, what could I do? So like, yeah, I'm just—
Tommy: but even the little things. So it's the framing of it. It's definitely— I fucked it. I definitely fucked it before having kids. I was like, definitely. I mean, you, you're only needing to process your world as it is. And so if you don't have kids, it's like You think you don't have enough time, you don't have enough— all the things that you still think when you are a parent. But you, in hindsight, you know, Bodhi wanting to— him not going to bed till 9:30 and us having to work so hard because he's having a nap at daycare, which means Amy and I can't spend the quality time together like we would have once been able to do. And so what is he doing?
Josh: So what do you do? So you just have to keep him Oh, he's on his phone, but no, I'm joking.
Tommy: He's, he doesn't, he naps at daycare, so he's not tired at night and he needs to, he needs to stop his nap. You should ban that. Well, I've tried to, I've tried to, I've said something, they limited it, but I think it's hard for them to sort of manage every kid and how much they're sleeping. Yeah. What's another way of dealing with it?
Josh: What could you do? Oh, give him like fucking nodose during the day and then he'll fucking—
Tommy: No, dude, it's like he's on nodose during the day, and so if he doesn't, if he doesn't— What's your Uber Eats saying? Grab your order at the door.
Josh: Has he shown a photo? Look, let's see the photo. This is how— No photo.
Tommy: How do you see photo? No photo. But maybe Bri grabbed it. That was pretty quick. I reckon Bri got it. No, they, they, he goes hard all day but then has a nap and then goes hard. But if he doesn't have a nap, he goes hard all day and crashes at night. And so it's the, it's the re-energization after his little nap, you know, his little human growth hormones come out and just healed him up and he's back, back at it for another 10 hours.
Josh: And so then how much organising can you actually do? Breeze just opened the door. How'd you go, Breezy? He's not saying anything, but that doesn't— here we go.
Tommy: Thank you. Making amends for my Subway blunder. Okay, here we go.
Josh: All right, how big is it?
Tommy: Can you cut to a wider view, please? I want to see this whole thing. And okay, yep.
Josh: Okay, so it's a box. Uh, it's a Tommy, please leave cake at room temperature 1 hour prior to serving, no problem. Okay, so you got it from Brunetti's in the end?
Tommy: Yeah, yeah, right. With the goods for the chocolatey, chocolatey, chocolatey.
Josh: It's addictive to say chocolatey. Chocolatey eclairs. Yeah, so it's got a little bit of tape here that I'm just gonna need to take off. Thank you for doing this. Yeah, no worries.
Tommy: His mood's shifting already, it's great. It's gonna be happy baby by the end of the, end of the episode. And so I think these are small. It was the, um, it was the multi-pack, like you're getting a few different ones.
Josh: Uh, it's the, the, the tape is—
Tommy: well, oh my God, we're in— this is an LA, uh, this is like the Edibles Gummy over again. Gummy Cookies all over again. It's like it's very, um, mate, break into it. Oh yeah, but break into it. I'm not gonna tear the box, just tear it up.
Josh: No, hang on, just tear it open.
Tommy: Hang on, you talk. Go. Yeah, I got mine, it was old school from a bakery, like an old school style bakery, uh, and it was big. I reckon one of mine would have fit, fit in the box that Josh has. And so he's struggling to open it. It seems quite simple to just rip out the side of it. So you just tear the tape, so rip out the box. This is hilarious.
Josh: What do you think I do?
Tommy: Wherever the line— wherever the tape goes over, get a knife.
Josh: Hang on.
Tommy: Oh, here we go. Yes, he's cracked it. There we go, he solved the Rubik's Cube.
Josh: Is this good audio? Hi@thedailytalkshow.com. Here we go, perfect.
Tommy: All right, all right, he's got his eclairs. Okay.
Josh: Yeah. Oh, yep. Show us. Oh, yes. Okay, so I have a, uh, one that looks like coffee. It's got a coffee bean, a pink one, uh, a chocolate one, one that looks like it could be matcha, and one that looks like it could be pistachio with gold flakes.
Tommy: Oh, wow. Which one? You gotta go chocolate one because I'm glad you— I'm glad you got it. They didn't promise any flavor. They said assorted of what we have, which might not have been.
Josh: Ready for a review?
Tommy: Yeah, I want chocolate éclair review of Brunetti's.
Josh: So interestingly, you'd expect normally like cream on the outside.
Tommy: No? Yeah, that's the mini ones have it inside. Some of them. All right, here we go. Now I'm jealous. Now I want one. Oh, that looks good.
Josh: It's fucking frozen. It's fucking frozen. It said leave for 1 hour. That's fucking disgusting. I'm not even joking. All right, I'm gonna be a prick about it, but that's fucking gross.
Tommy: Can I, um, 'Can I respond to Uber and say they're frozen?' Dude, that pisses me off.
Josh: Like frozen, it's not like frozen, it's not ice cream, it's fucking frozen cream. They have to keep them so cold.
Tommy: It pisses me off. Calvin's lost it in the comments. Ah, that's great. We'll finish up. Happy Friday, straight out of the freezer from Brunetti's.
Josh: Isn't that— that's bullshit, don't you think? It said on the packet.
Tommy: Yes, because it said on the packet, it's not on— it's not on because you want to eat it straight away, but it says please keep out of the fridge for an hour, which will bring it right down. So don't eat cold.
Josh: I can say that giving this an hour, this needs more than an hour.
Tommy: Well, can you give it an hour and then do a review on our Instagram account?
Josh: I can't believe that. Uh, thank you for choosing Brunetti Cake. Thank you for nothing.
Tommy: Yeah, Olivia has said this has been a real roller coaster.
Josh: Yeah, I mean, the thing is that what I was seeking was cake. Yeah, some sort of fluffy—
Tommy: first you were seeking a chocolate éclair and I— I just want to—
Josh: Do you know what this reminds me of? What? Profiterole.
Tommy: Oh, it's— They've conned you into—
Josh: They've given me a mini profiterole. Yeah.
Tommy: Anyway, all right. I'm not a fan of the profiteroles, to be honest.
Josh: Am I sounding outrageous, do you think?
Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's all right.
Josh: Okay. Okay, it's a daily talk show. What's been your Uber Eats disaster? Yeah, or here we go, uh, what have you eaten that's been frozen in the middle? Hi@thedailytalkshow.com. Yeah, enjoy your, um, your Fat Friday. Go do something nice, have some fun, maybe go to a, um, camp in your house, watch a movie, chill out.
Tommy: I reckon the bigger question is how can Josh have fun? What is your version of it and what should he try? Maybe it's like The fun guy, you're coming for the title of the fun guy. What? It's frozen. Well, you can't keep eating it because you know it's frozen, so stop eating it.
Josh: It's so funny though, it reminds me, like, it's like the Subway experience. The, um, it's— I'm eating it and it's upsetting. Stop eating it. I was going to say something else before. The fun guy. Oh yeah, baseball. My team, um, Phillies, have had 4 COVID positive results, and so they're not playing at the moment. Oh my God. So I'm a real mess. Can you—
Tommy: you need to switch off from external— Chill out. I just need external—
Josh: Read some of that book.
Tommy: Yeah, can you do some of those quotes? I like those. That was like I was reading it.
Josh: All right, guys. Alrighty, it's The Daily Talk Show. We'll see tomorrow for our weekend banter. We'll be doing it on Saturday and Sunday, so you can tune in live at youtube.com/thedailytalkshow. And, uh, thank you for a great July. Tomorrow is August. Will there be an organised August?
Tommy: Yes, but I also want to say thank you to all the Gronks. It's been our biggest month of downloads ever, ever in the history of this podcast. It is the 31st of July. That is something to be grateful for, and that is something to lift your mood after the subpar éclair. Josh tastes like blood.
Josh: I'm not even joking. All right, have a good one, guys. See you guys.
